Changing Seasons for the Country Nurse by Kate Eastham #Review

  I am thrilled to review the next in the latest series by  Kate Eastham. Changing Seasons for the Country Nurse was published by Boldwood Books on August 22nd.   In the quiet Lancashire countryside of 1936, city-trained nurse Lara Flynn must contend with far more than muddy lanes and b oisterous farm dogs. Still recovering from a past trauma and an ill-fated love affair, she’s determined to prove herself as a capable district nurse and midwife to a community that doesn’t easily welcome outsiders. As autumn sets in, Lara becomes a trusted presence at Ingleside Surgery - soothing frightened patients, forming a close bond with her spirited colleague Marion and earning the grudging respect of the erratic but brilliant senior doctor. But behind the laughter and team spirit, shadows loom. There’s loss, secrets buried deep in the hearts of her new friends and a face from her past that threatens everything Lara's tried to leave behind. When tragedy strikes a patient - a...

Come Back to Me by Daniela Sacerdoti #Review

Books, Life and Everything is showcasing a rather special book today. Come Back to Me by Daniela Sacerdoti is packed with atmosphere. 


This third enchanting novel set on the windswept Seal Island is about finding love for a second time when hope seems lost.

Three separate lives. Three broken hearts.

Haunted by his wife's death, Matt arrives on Seal Island determined to be alone and unable to escape his grief. 

In the island's hospital, a young woman named Rose lies in a coma, trapped by the memories of events leading up to her accident. 

Grace, the island's doctor, is at the heart of the community. Only she knows how much she regrets turning down the chance of love and a family years ago.

For these three people hope seems gone. 

But life is about to offer an unexpected new beginning... 

My Thoughts

This is an atmospheric read which skilfully weaves together the stories of three very different people and which manages to move back and forth through the years seamlessly. The fictional island is ever present and emphasises how remote their lives there are. Seal Island is a place to retreat to, with a calmness which seems to nurture those who live there.

    There are moments which have an other worldly aura and which have a mystical, ghostly feel. The story is told at times through some haunting and atmospheric language and the general tone of the writing is sad and regretful. It is emotional and certainly keeps you turning the pages to the end. Above all, it is an enjoyable read which I was fully involved in. 

In short: A mysterious and atmospheric read.
